My gaming PC mobo, for whatever reason, doesn't have a graphic equalizer for the onboard sound card (well it does, but only for the optical output). Never been a real problem until now. I bought a new gaming headset. I love it, but it's too bassy. Found this neat Equalizer that can be used with any ...

This deal expires 12/20/23: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/vegas-pro-creative-frontier-bundle-software?partner=bluesnews Hey, anyone who wants or needs to do video editing, that Vegas Edit is worth the minimum $25 alone. It's 2 versions behind (it's v19, and the latest is v21 which costs $200...

So far I have had good reliability out of Samsung and Vizio TVs. I have a Vizio at the old house that has to be at least 12 years old, that's still running and looks great. My first two HDTVs were Samsungs, and they have a date on the serial number tag on them, so I know they are 15 years old now. B...

Los: Dunno if you've gotten a Quest 3 yet, or even planning to get one. Here's a photo that shows how much smaller it is. Look how thin the case is compared to the Quest 2 on the left. It feels incredibly light on your head.

Open Shell is now is supposed to work with Win11, if you prefer the classic start menu: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu If that is not to your liking, there's Stardock's Start11 which can also revert to the classic menu, but also lets you customize Win11's start menu: https://www.stard...

I've soured on Samsung the past year. They've had lots of problems. Your model has an issue, although latest firmware is supposed to fix it: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update I've been going with Crucial lately. I also have two Sabrent Rocket drives in my...

Well I bought a Quest 3 today, after trying a demo of it. It's a big improvement over the Quest 2. It's lighter, the image quality is better, the lenses are the better pancake lenses with less distortion and a wider FOV. It's much more comfortable to wear. Stock audio is also a huge improvement. I a...

You have a heatsink on that M.2 SSD? The Gen 3 and 4's can overheat easily, although they usually just slow down, not cause errors. Even just the factory mobo heatsink, which is usually just a strip of metal with a thermal pad on it, will help. FYI: To try and copy your files off the drive, try boot...

Btw they have some less expensive builds on that Lenovo Legion page if that's out of your price range. Same system with a 1TB SSD and an RTX 3060 for $1080, which is a very good deal, if you're gaming is 1080p.

This Lenovo Legion Tower 5, direct from Lenovo, looks like a good deal at $1300 with a Ryzen 7 7700 and RTX 4070: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/desktops/legion-desktops/legion-t-series-towers/legion-tower-5-gen-8-(26l,-amd)/90ux000cus The Legion Tower 5 line seems to have good build quality accordi...

BTW: If you want to keep the battery on an old phone from deteriorating while in storage, put it in the fridge (not the freezer!). Best to discharge them to 50% first. I have several old devices in a mini fridge, along with my alkaline batteries. Batteries will stay fresh in a fridge for an extremel...
